Welcome to SHRED BOOTCAMP! I'll be your Drill Instructor! And I do mean DRILL! As in a large power tool used in slasher films and Paul Gilbert concerts. Here is were you EARN THE LIVING DEATH out of your fingers and break through any speed bumps/barriers to become a MASTER CHIEF of Shred!

MISSON #1

THE MISSION

1.)Your mission is to go all the way back to the very start. The base of the mountain.

Which you will play SLOWWWWWWLLY, very SLOWWWLLLLYYYY until you master it at a crawl (As You'll Do With Each Mission, and focus on left hand FORM! Make it SUPER PERFECT!). Speed it up bit by bit until you feel you are ready to take it to WAR (Any speed, it's up to you, SPEED DOES NOT MATTER, PRECISION MATTERS) Shoot a video of you playing the piece/pieces along with a METRONOME or DRUM click in the background so that I can hear if your on beat or not, and embed it as a post it as a reply to this post. (you can take the vid using your cellphone, web cam, etc. anything you like as long as I can see both hands and hear the click/metronome), Use the EMBED function. (click on INSERT SPECIAL ITEM and select YOUTUBE VIDEO and follow the instructions) I'll then offer a constructive and brutally honest critique of your playing

THE AFTERMATH

Upon nailing the crap out of lesson one, and playing it as clean as a freshly waxed floor, you will be given your first insignia of Rank in BOOTCAMP!

After that proceed to MISSION #2. Here is a link to all of the missions. All 400+ of them. Our highest ranking Soldier is currently at LEVEL 30. http://bit.ly/twtgmc

Let me know if I can help The first mission is often a bit of a hurdle if one hasn't done this type of thing before. Once you get going, it's easy You can use your cell phone to record the video and audio if needed. No fancy production required
